Blood Hunt: Red Band #3

Halfway through this five-part Marvel event, Blood Hunt: Red Band #3 presents a deeply unsettling vision of a vampiric Spider-Man — glowing red eyes, fanged teeth bared, webbing coiled ominously beneath his feet — rendered in Pepe Larraz's striking, blood-drenched palette brought to life by Marte Gracia's coloring. The Red Band label is well-earned here; Marvel's explicit-content warning signals that writer Jed MacKay is not pulling punches as this dark saga deepens. If the cover alone is this arresting at the series' midpoint, the tension building toward the finale promises something genuinely memorable.
